[Vision2020] Thompson Property Thoughts to Ponder

[Steven Basoa]

I'd like to see the city, county and/or the Moscow school district  
join forces and buy the property.  The Thompson family could make  
their money and the realtor(s) would get their percentage.  That  
should keep them happy.  Think of the possibilities that could then  
emerge.  A well designed plan would enhance that part of town  
immensely (and therefore, all of Moscow and Latah County).  New  
schools, parkland, ball parks, new fairgrounds (my favorite idea), a  
full sized ice rink, the possibilities and combined uses are  
numerous.  Of course it would take a lot of commitment, cohesion and  
vision.  And taxpayer support.

Greetings Visionaires -

As Nils Peterson mentioned earlier, he and I have been discussing our
thoughts concerning options for the Thompson Property.  I have been
suggestive of two options.



Thompson Court:

Extend Alturas Techno Park into the Thompson property, accompanied  
with a
micro mini-mall (i.e. a restaurant with two or three small stores)



Thompson Field:

Develop the Thompson property into a baseball/soccer sports complex,
accompanied with a micro mini-mall (i.e. a restaurant with two or three
small stores)



In my opinion, either option's potential architecture would enhance the
property and provides for slow incremental growth.

How about it, Moscow?

Thoughts/Ideas/Suggestions?

Let's get some synergy going.
